  • Wall Street Ends 5-Week Slide as Iran Conflict and Oil Prices Influence Markets
    April 3, 2026, 10:59 AM EDT. Wall Street snapped its five-week losing streak with the S&P 500 rising 3.4% and the Nasdaq Composite up 4.4%, aided by hopes of a swift end to the U.S.-Iran conflict. The Dow Jones also posted its first gain in six weeks, climbing 2.96%. Despite an 11.4% surge in U.S. oil prices Thursday, stocks rallied, defying the usual inverse relationship between oil and equities. Market optimism followed mixed signals from Iranian and U.S. leaders about conflict resolution, with investors focusing on fresh labor data and IPO activity. Analysts, including Jim Cramer, noted the unexpected market resilience amid geopolitical tensions, suggesting a possible temporary thaw in bearish sentiment.
